Overview

Property Details

Updated: Feb 18, 2015

House, 6 Bedrooms, 6 Baths, 16 Sleeps

Doctor's Orders and Doctor's RX is an oceanfront duplex that may be rented as a 6 Br oceanfront side (sleeps 16) or as a 12 Br/12 Ba oceanfront sides (sleeps 32). This house has its own spacious living/dining area with panoramic views of the beach through its wall-to-wall glass french doors.

Looking for a luxurious and spacious place to stay with a large group of family/friends? This oceanfront beach house is the perfect place to spend your Myrtle Beach vacation! Located in the quiet community of Long Bay Estates with no traffic and only a 1-min walk to the ocean, this home is ideal for vacationers looking to spend a relaxing and fun time on the Grand Strand. This house is one of the only beach houses along the Grand Strand that has its own private beach and, unlike most of the beaches in Myrtle Beach, this beach is not crowded with tourists during the summer. This home also includes a private pool so you can splash away all day after taking a morning stroll on the beach.

We absolutely loved this property and it is the second time we have stayed here for a golf trip. It has great views and the location is very convenient. Plenty of room for large groups or families. The house was very clean and well equipped. I would definitely recommend the linen service. It saves you the trouble of lugging a bunch of extra stuff with you. Restaurants close by and plenty of fantastic golf courses in the area. It would also be a nice location for families looking to spend a week at the beach.

Guestbook comments from the owner

Everyone had a great time and loved our accommodations. Great locations, clean, and very spacious. Our teenagers had a great time being ocean front. I will definitely keep you all in mind for next year. I love, love, love the duplex in Long Bay Estates. So peaceful. Wouldn't mind having a place there myself. Thanks again for all your help in making the Lady Panthers Myrtle Beach trip a huge success!!!

Great but needs some attention

3 of 5

I am writing this review quite late from our visit in Aug 2014, but for good reason. My family has rented both sides 2 times now and we really love the layout of the house and the location. We want to return this summer but have our reservations about doing it. The house is very nice overall and the pool is nice and large. However we are seeing wear and tear on it and not really seeing repairs or upgrades. We have traveled the world with our kids in tow and are always very respectful and have even made trips to hardware stores for my MacGuyver Husband to fix problems etc. So to be quite honest with our concerns from past stays, let me address them: The walkway, esp the stairs portion from the house to the walkway and from the walkway to the beach is in need of repair. The mattresses are some of the worst we have ever slept on and we have stayed in a few of the rooms....PLEASE replace them---SAMS CLUB has good options. The deck furniture was new since our 1st visit, but it's not very functional or comfortable--but it is beachy! THE HOUSE HAS BATS!! Bats are a health hazard and can be a nuisance. Could not sit out on the top decks at night or in the early morning without getting dive-bombed. And some newer appliances would be a plus. I don't want to sound like I am negative Nellie, but it's maintenance that needs done. These homes are expensive to rent and I am sure expensive to maintain but if you want repeat customers you have to UPKEEP.It really could be a top notch beach home with some TLC over this Winter!

Owner's Response: We always appreciate feedback, but it would have been nice to have received a phone call from you concerning your dissatisfaction with the aforementioned items. That would have been the way to bring them to our attention for consideration and resolution. Instead we received an email 4 months after your departure. We always address repairs/maintenance as they arise during the season so if we were told about the walkway, it would have been taken care of. The last thing anyone wants is for an accident to occur, especially a serious one. Off-season we also take care of repairs/maintenance on the walkway going to beach so not sure exactly what area of the walkway you are referring to, but my maintenance man took care of all issues there. Also, I was aware of a bat problem and needed to wait until the off-season since traps needed to be set and that would have been a disruption during rental season. I had to wait until the house was empty. The bat problem has been resolved. We can't control bats along the beach. Regarding the mattresses, no one else has said anything negative about them. As you know, beds at a beach house are never going to be like you have at home. I don't know what you mean about the deck furniture not being functional. It is certainly heavy and sturdy which is appreciated by most renters. Week after week, when you have 20+ people leaving on a Saturday and coming in that same day, you need sturdy furniture. Otherwise, chairs get broken easily and have to be replaced often. The deck furniture is really very nice and we've actually gotten many positive comments on it. Every season we do upgrades to this property. Last year it was all new granite in the kitchen. This year there will be new kitchen appliances. Our goal is always to keep this property as well as all our properties well-maintained and up-to-date. This is a large property which brings in large groups week after week so wear and tear is constant, but we do our very best to keep the property looking its best at all times. And, if anything needs attention during your stay, we take care of it right away. We hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Family Vacation

5 of 5

We had the best family vacation at this home on the beach. We have 4 grown children, their companions and three grandkids. we loved the short walk to the beach, the balconies, the ocean view all day - the pool, it was very clean, very well kept and we had an awesome time. Planning to do again next year - same time. you do not need to bring anything for the kitchen, it is all there.

The house was wonderful. It was comfortable and clean. I would rent there again, however, not in the really early spring. It was cold, rainy, and very windy. We had to wear a jacket when we went out. It would be a great place for teenagers and either a ladies' or guy's get away, especially in you play golf. I would not recommend it for anyone who cannot climb stairs. I would also not recommend sleeping on the sleep sofa unless you are short. Otherwise, it's very, very nice.

Drs. Orders was well equipped and served us well. Being on the beach gave us the oppurtunity to enjoy the water, sunrises and walks on the beach. Having the pool also gave us the chance to relax in a quiet setting. I would recommend this unit to my friends and family.

Great for Large Families

4 of 5

The house has a great layout and was perfect for our family of 7. Bedrooms are not large or fancy, but the en suite baths in 5 of the 6 bedrooms are a huge plus. The water is so close to the house that we did not have to haul anything to the beach. We made quick trips back to the house to eat, visit the facilities, rinse off in the outdoor shower, or rest a bit. The covered double decks were spectacular and the deck furniture was abundant. The beaches are so clean and private, and fun family activities are just a short drive away. The pool is also a very nice size, but you do share it with the adjacent family. Not a problem for us, since they were very nice. Some minor issues that didn't really impact us, but should be addressed: master bedroom linens should be replaced, the main refrigerator stopped working (fortunately, there is a second one in the house, so that wasn't a problem for us), the dishwasher needs to be fixed/replaced, and the living room sofas are a bit lumpy and should be updated. The linens are not included in the price (sheets and towels). Even if you purchase the linen package, which is pricey, I would recommend bringing an extra set of towels for each person, and a waterproof mattress pad for young kids. All in all, we would definitely come back again. This is a wonderful property, and we will consider renting the other side of the divided house next time to accommodate extended family.

Owner's Response: Our onsite maintenance man Henry answers all repair issues promptly. When renter stated one of the two refrigerators as well as the dishwasher were not working properly Henry answered the call and tried making the repairs but both needed to be replaced. So we bought a new refrigerator and dishwasher. Our goal is to keep our properties well maintained at all times. Regarding the linen service we could automatically include the towels and linens in the price but oftentimes we give renters the option of bringing their own in order to lower the rental price for them.
